Rahnama (The Guide)

A brief introduction Rahnama (The Guide)

Asking in order to find the path is, in itself, a value. Any culture that values inquiry and presents the most beautiful, precise, and simple answers has guaranteed its own expansion and longevity. What matters is choosing the best path; a path that is healthy, secure, moderate, comprehensive, and rational. "Rahnama" (The Guide) is a step on this journey and a gift for all pilgrims visiting the shrine of the Compassionate Imam, Ali ibn Musa al-Reza (peace be upon him). The "Rahnama" software contains the "Rahnama" booklets, which are compiled based on the frequency of questions asked by visitors to religious counseling offices, those seeking answers to jurisprudential questions, or participants in the "Circles of Knowledge" at the holy shrine of Imam Reza (peace be upon him), among others. These are organized into four collections: "Jurisprudence (Ahkam)," "Beliefs," "Shrine Studies (Haram Shenasi)," and "Lifestyle Etiquette," and are provided to pilgrims as a supplement to the answers given by scholars. At the beginning of each "Rahnama" booklet, the author strives to first present the important questions of the topic to the reader's mind; then, using religious content, offers a short and key answer to the aforementioned question. The end of each booklet introduces sources for further study. An important feature of these booklets, considering the diversity and multiplicity of the audience, is the eloquent and fluid writing style used in drafting the answers, which has made understanding the concepts easy for visitors of all age and educational levels. In each "Rahnama" title, efforts are made—drawing inspiration from and utilizing effective verses and narrations—to briefly familiarize the esteemed reader with the simplest yet most serious topics, while stimulating their curiosity and encouraging them to achieve a precise understanding of the matter through new approaches. Possessing techniques for audience engagement, such as fluid writing and artistic attractions, is also among the distinctions of "Rahnama."
